A Beautiful Day In Brantome France the Perigord

When I want to experience a beautiful day in the French countryside I frequently go to the village of Brantome, about 30 minutes from my home in the Perigord.It is a real living village with the beautiful Abbye, lots of shopping, restaurants and gorgeous views.We went this morning and it was very hot but with my camera in tow and a hat on my head, I enjoyed every moment.

There is a beautiful house on the river that I adore.

We stopped for lunch on the terrace of the lovely Relais and Chateaux Hotel Le Moulin De L'Abbye and had a gorgeous meal.

I love shopping at this antique linen shop in a cave on the main walking street.

Don't forget to bring the essentials, like a great tote to carry all your new treasures in.

Find Me Here

I am an American living half the year in the US and half the year in a 12th century village in country France. For many years I owned a very successful table linen company. I had a great career designing and manufacturing linens as well as licensing my name to manufacturers of other products including bedding and towels. I love life and try to live it to its fullest. I have always loved France but only knew Paris and the Cote D'Azur. When a friend asked me to visit her in the Dordoge area of France I jumped at the chance. Details of why I chose to live in France will appear under the sidebar "My Story". I am the proud mother of four and grandmother of eleven. I love dogs and my little white maltese sadly went to the rainbow bridge last year at the age of 16. I will miss her forever......
